The Presidential Nominating Process

The nominating process for presidential candidates plays a crucial role in American democracy, yet it often excludes the majority of voters. While millions engage in the general election, participation in primaries and caucuses is significantly lower, with a select few states wielding disproportionate influence. This book examines the evolution of the nominating process, its current mechanics, and comparisons with other nations. It also proposes reforms aimed at expanding voter involvement and ensuring a more equitable selection of candidates.
